People here at least are saying "the system is BROKEN" with the "because I didn't get my place in it" merely implied rather than stated.
And that's my take away on how this at least moving the dialogue a little more in big-picture terms. Aside from anarchists and other assorted commies and people written off as cranks*, people have been crititque things from the perspective that the system is okay, it's just policy that's problematic or a group with an agenda who is messed-up, ie. "This was is wrong", "we need more benefits for the poor" or "torture is wrong".
But now people are really taking the whole system to the task because emperor has no clothes once you have no job and you 401k is up in smoke, it's taken an economic catastrophe and people loosing their economic security bubble to see that, hopefully people will remember the lesson instead of ignore how broken everything if they see prosperity again. But until then it's good to see a systematic critique get in the news.
And the Ron Paul support!!!! It makes me want to scream, I saw photos of the event I couldn't attend yesterday and I guess there someone with a Gasden flag at the head of the march and people with anti-federal reserve/goldbug signs there to.
It shouldn't be surprising for here, Nevada has a very strong little l, "leave me alone", libertarian tradition and Ron Paul is very popular here, but still I don't think Occupy wants to out there flying Gasden flags because it is the de facto symbol of the tea party.
